Anybody who has the ability to go into a hypnotic trance, which is almost everybody, will gain some analgesic benefit (that is, pain relief) from being in this state. There is a small percentage of the population that can, literally, go through a dental procedure or a surgical procedure (major oral surgery, for example) with no chemical anaesthesia whatsoever, using only the power of hypnosis, and feel absolutely no discomfort. This could be also included for fillings, root canals, and all those nasty procedures that nobody really likes. Now, it's important to remember that not everyone can do that. In fact, the people that can do it with no additional aid is probably a pretty small percentage. So yes, hypnosis it is beneficial in trying to avoid medical anaesthesia for dental work. If you can enter a trance at all, there is a pain-relief benefit of entering hypnosis.
